1. The probability of a premature baby girl being born at this hospital is 5%.

   The probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event to happen. It measures the certainty of the event.

   If the likelihood of boys being born is 56%, then the complement of that is the likelihood of girls being born which is 100% – 56% = 44%.

   Since we are given that of the baby girls born, 12% are premature, the probability of a premature baby girl  being born is:

   (0.44)(0.12) = 0.0528 or 5.28%

   The closest answer is the 5%.

   The probability of a premature baby girl being born at this hospital is 5%.
